Adventure Island of Tasmania (April punya story)

Good day, I am missing Australia...today nak publish what i have been abandoning as draft for months..post ni sebenarnya lama dipostpone...haha..so here is how it should go..

Easter Break yang lepas iaitu dari 3 April sehingga 12 April aku berjalan-jalan, cadang nak ke New Zealand tapi tiket sama mahal balik Malaysia, maka tak jadilah.

Easter Break ni seperti midterm atau mid semester break kat Malaysia, walaupon macam baru bukak je bulan 3 hari tu. So sebelum ni aku post pasal percutian backpackers ku ke Sydney and Blue Mountain, this time aku pegi ke Tasmania. Last year winter ada pegi dah, Hobart to be exact tapi join winter camp, so most of the time spent dalam hutan or they call it bushfire amenda tah..

Talk too much is no use.. ahaha abeh broken, share pic jenjalan dulu la ye..banyak gila gambar!

First mendarat kat Launceston, jenjalan ke Cataract George by cruise and walking, 2nd day tour ke Cradle Mountain..3rd day ke Hobart, 4th day tour ke Port Arthur dan Tasman Island, last day cycle around Hobart..

Cataract George, Launceston..

Then start jenjalan ke lereng-lereng bukit along Cataract George tersebut...

Da sampai Cataract Gorge

Ada orang buat rock climbing di seberang sana

Lepas tu kami pon lunch lah, share main meal, 1 dessert calamari salad, mintak air kosong, jimat hoho

Esoknya tour van ambil kami kat hostel nak ke Cradle Mountain, sebelum sampai singgah Sheffield

Ni semua kat Sheffield

Kedai jual barang collectible..

Sampailah ke Cradle Mountain selepas dalam 3 jam dalam van..subhanallah lawa

Terserempak dorang, yang lelaki tu terus "selamat datang", weollz pon "oh thank you, u speak malay?" "ohh i've been working n living in Brunei, n visited Malaysia so many times.."

Dove Lake..

Jalan-jalan ke laki lain, very huge national park this is...

Ni Lily Lake

Temperate forrest, Cradle Valley, hutan dia sempoi, macam citer Lord of the Rings, fon abeh bateri kat sini so tak banyak pic,sila ke sini untuk gambar dari website lain yang lebih pro

Hari ketiga check out n jenjalan town Launceston dengan beg 7kg sebelum ambil bas ke Hobart, turun ke selatan Tasmania

Sementara tunggu bas, kami jalan-jalan around Launceston, belakang tu Albert Hall

The next day Tasman Island and Port Arthur cruise, paling mahal antara semua, but totally freaking worth it!

Lepas on the cruise boat around Tasman Island for about 3 hours, last stop is Port Arthur..

Ferry yang pusing-pusing Port Arthur..

Our last day was spent with cycling around Hobart..Ini atas Tasman Bridge, mencabar cycle sebab path sangat sempit..

Esplanade, banyak cycling trails kat sini, ini sebelah kiri lepas turun bridge, ke kanan lagi extreme, molek jika ada gopro di kepala..

Lepas puas cycle we went back to Hobart n stopped for our late lunch around 3.30pm

Our seafood meal..

Satu la kan, satu nak cerita...bila travel barulah berpeluang untuk banyak bersosialize dengan local mat saleh, sebab nama pon duduk hostel backpackers, kira kena share sebilik dengan mana-mana orang kita tak kenal, then pi  jenjalan nak beli tu ni nak tanya tour guide segala so banyaklah interaksi dengan non-muslims foreigners berbanding pi kelas hari-hari. Melalui pengalaman aku, depa ni helpful, friendly, murah senyuman.. kita toksah cerita la pasal yang mentaliti pprt, memang ada tapi Alhamdulillah tak encounter pon, dok jumpa yang bebaik ja.. Dari segi bertolak ansur pon depa nombor 1, contoh macam dalam berjalan kaki ni, walaupon semua orang tengah laju jalan, sesak-sesak nak naik escalator ka masuk lift ka, situasi berebut-rebut tu tak berlaku, depa ni selalu memberi laluan, terlalu jaga-jaga takut menyusahkan orang seperti blocking orang lain atau langgar orang lain..memang berhemah dan bersopan la, tak tipu la ni memang pengalaman aku..kalau nak jadi pon dengan bangsa cina tapi tak ramai la, mungkin cina dari China (tak semua la, classmate aku dari China ok ja cuma atheist, selalu rasa lawak bila aku cakap aku sembahyang puasa makan halal ja, tapi dia respect je, aku tumpang solat rumah dia pon dia ok je) atau yang less educated sikit ka, kalau local chinese pon bagus-bagus jugak..

Dengan cara layanan depa ni, bak kata naqibah aku, dari segi akhlak tu depa lagi bagus la dari yang dok ada kat Malaysia, biarpon mengaku Islam, tapi sayangnya, negara depa banyak kes bunuh diri, depa tak percaya sangat perkahwinan atau senang bercerai, senang stress sebab 1 benda depa takdak, agama.. tapi nak salahkan depa tak boleh juga, macamana depa nak tertarik dengan Islam kalau perangai depa lagi elok daripada kebanyakan kita? Depa selalu jadi kes, bila dah tua, depa jadi tak taw nak kejar apa dah, tu yang kebanyakan suka travel.. muda depa pulun belajar, atau skip that then depa pulun kerja, kumpul harta.. bila semua depa dah dapat at one point depa jadi tak tau nak buat apa, di situ depa da kehabisan sumber happiness and motivation depa, sebab depa tak jumpa the purpose of life. Sebab mulanya purpose of life depa is study, then work hard to be successful, to live rich, to buy this and that, when they have all that, next is what? Ironinya compare dengan Malaysia yang hectic sesak kecik dan kita rasa stress and struggling, Australia ni punya besaq sampai depa tak payah buat bangunan bertingkat-tingkat sebab tanah banyak, tempat lawa pon banyak yang depa reserve sebagai national park,sebab depa sangat care about nature, about health ,depa punya tahap pemikiran tu memang lain lah..macam pelik kan, when they have everything, but they still can resort to committing suicide, while Malaysia yang boleh kata tak lah best mana, dari segi facilities, transportation, economy segala, suicide case tak banyak, orang bunuh sesama sendiri yang banyak..

Untuk menyokong lagi penulisan di atas tu, kiranya memula aku tak hadam sangat segala input dari naqibah aku (yang aku taip kat atas tu inspired by her input lah) , masa kat Launceston, masa tengah nak masak air kat dalam dapur hostel tu pepagi, nak buat sup, sorang laki mat saleh tegur, kawan aku tu ramah, dia yang ramah memula, aku ni tak ramah mana, jangan harap nak start, tapi last-last aku yang melayan banyak sebab perbualan menjadi serius dan kawan aku tu tak berminat perbualan yang serius mungkin, lebih kurang beginilah dialognya seingat-ingat lupa aku:

Mat Saleh:	Hi good morning
Kawan:	Hi good morning, having breakfast?
Mat Saleh:	Oh yeah enjoy ur meal! (macam nak blah dah)
Kawan:	Where u from? (kawan aku ni memang ramah, semua orang dia tanya soalan tu, bagus betul)
Mat Saleh:	I'm just from around here, I'm just delivering stuff here, some supplies...
Kawan:	Ohh u from here, this is a beautiful place to stay.
Mat Saleh:	Yeah, (sambil muka macam kemek-kemek sket,nak tunjuk ketidaksetujuan) well, kind of..  U enjoy it here?
Kawan:	Of course, it's beautiful here.
Aku:	U dont enjoy living here? (aku baru mencelah sebab curious kenapa dia kemek-kemek muka)
Mat Saleh	(terus berhenti dari macam nak jalan keluar dari dapur tadi, terkejut aku) Well, the truth I am from Melbourne (ke Sydney, tak ingat) but I've been around, living there and here  around Australia, trying to find happiness.
Aku:	What, Ur not happy here? What's not to be happy about?
Mat Saleh:	It's the people. We are all materialistic...
Aku:	Really? Well we find that the local here are so friendly and helpful, and kinda family- oriented..
Kawan:	Yeah, what do u mean materialistic, u guys are nice..
Mat Saleh:	No i mean they are friendly n helpful n all, but one thing we are lacking, spiritual needs...we are all just what u see, physical and material..
Aku:	(this is interesting..) Do u mean like god and religion kind of thing?
Mat Saleh:	Yeah but, well, ur muslim right? U have Allah..and all ur things ur doing, it fills u inside, u have a belief which support u spiritually.. we dont, so we feel empty...
Aku:	So u must find a religion..?
Mat Saleh:	I dont really trust religion because sometime it feels like man-made..I believe in god, I  believe in Allahuakbar (aku curious gila time ni, lama aku kacau sup) but I dont believe in  those who claim to be the mesengger, the one can communicate with god and tell us what to do and all..it should be just us directly with god..there should not be Muhamad and all (ni dia yg cakap ok)
Aku:	So u mean u dont believe in intermediaries, in prophecy?
Mat Saleh:	Well, yeah.. (dengan muka kemek-kemek, macam takut salah cakap, takut aku offended kot) because u know these people are the one leading others to hate each other’s, to kill others who dont have the same belief (oh dia tengah refer fanatics and  extremist) , u know like promising those who blow themselves up heaven with 72 virgins waiting, (aku google and found this) , it is nonsence.. that is what happen when u dont  communicate spiritually and directly with god yet trust another person, who is he, not the god himself, right?
Aku:	Well there are some cases like that..they are the fanatics but not all..
Mat Saleh:	(dia potong) Do u believe in the martyrs will be rewarded with 72 virgins in heaven?
Aku:	(masa ni memang aku tak pernah dengar benda ni).. noooo...never heard of thattt... (dengan  muka abeh kemek sebab memang tak pernah dengar, aku ni jujur dalam facial expression).. kawan aku pon buat muka hairan bin Ajaib..
Mat Saleh:	Hahahaha (dia gelak kaw-kaw) Yeah, see?? well what's ur name?
Aku:	I am Nur, my friend is Yana..
Mat Saleh:	Oh, Nur and Yana, well Nur, I gotta go, nice chatting with u, enjoy ur soup..enjoy ur stay here, glad that u like it here..hope everything is good with u (sambil menepuk bahu aku dan keluar dari dapur..)

Ohh dem, the interesting conversation left hanging..but at least, altho the conversation was short, it's long enough to make me understand the struggle of these people, kira betul la apa yang naqibah aku dok cakap setiap kali lepak..bersyukur kita yang kenal Islam, dan diberi keyakinan dan kepercayaan ke atas Allah dan rasul, dont take this from granted, and I pray for this guy to find what he is looking for..and find Islam, sebab one thing make him ahead of other local mat saleh,is that he realized what they are missing, that is spiritual needs, makanan rohani..benda-benda atas dunia ni tak cukup, sebab semuanya sementara kan, well i have to keep myself reminded of this time, kadang-kadang kita taip dan cakap kemain, lepas sebulan lupa diri huhu..mintak simpang..

Knock Knock..knocking on my heart?

I am approaching 3 decades of age, which means the age where orang melayu start panggil BMW 3 series... Okai so u must know all the pressure of being single at this age bla bla bla, let's not go there, yet..maybe some other time, or maybe never..

I just feel this song is so cool..

Someone I know that don't speak Malay is wondering what the lyric means, so here I am going to try to translate it, not directly like word-to-word, just so she gets the point..Here it goes:

Inspiring Movie about Life and Nature

I watched some movies as some sort of a break while writing, so I am keen to share some interesting movies worth watching to keep u alive, or to boost u into appreciating life more than u do now..

Since I am in the middle of completing my other assignment, which is a 4500-word research essay (in the last blog was 9000-word thesis draft) , I wont be writing that much, but I'll edit this later to add reviews in my own words..

For the time being, here are the movies that kinda inspire me to look at life in a different way (it's not that different, i was not that materialistic even before watching them):

Into The Wild

This movie is based on true story about this pelajar cemerlang nama Chris, specialized in economy if im not mistaken, tapi rasa tak suka dengan material dan harta, tiba-tiba decide to explore the nature and leaving all his stuff behind without even informing his family..you can read the sinopsis here .. It doesn't have pretty ending tho..What I learn from the movie is, material don't make u happy, like what Chris felt when he felt all the bills and everyday life as a worker of a company,it's tiring, but to get lost in isolation, away from other human is never a good choice..love keeps us going living and happy, although human make chaos, but don't be the one who makes chaos, be the one who makes peace..and insyaAllah we will be surrounded by peaceful people too..

Wild

This movie is superb..the acting is just great, well-delivered..about a recently divorced woman Cheryl who have some emotional turbulence handling with her mom's death..she is brave enough to take herself into the wood to explore nature and find her true self, being independent and all, read more here. I feel kinda related to this thing but I didn't really have to go through such a messy emotion and depression because I am blessed, my problem is just my love-life with men but I always have families and friends, leaving my comfort zone in Malaysia to discover myself in Australia in 2014 had really help me improve myself in so many levels, and it should be called back to fitrah, but unfortunately I got to feel it only for a year and a half, such a short training..but man I should be grateful..

The Road Within

This movie about 3 teenage patients running away from a behavioral facility, with the main actor as the guy with Tourettes , a nervous system disorder involving repetitive movements or unwanted sounds, and the other two suffer different type of disorder, read more here. What I feel with this movie is exactly how true what my naqibah advised me, the only way you can find out whether a person is worth to be your friends (lovers maybe) or foes is when you travel with them and see how they take care of you, and provided of course how you take care of them too.. You won't get along with everybody, they are always selfish people who befriended you to get something in return, so travel with them and see..

Cast Away

This is a famous award-winning movie, I think I dont have to explain here about it, but the movie is an eye-opener for me, of how it is to be alone and isolated from civilization. How Tom Hanks depends so much on his non-living ball as friend he named Wilson shows how we human always need someone to talk to, to give us support to keep on living, to give us hope.. When he needs the ball, we always have Allah, He does not just listen, He has given us all we have now, just always remember Him and obey Him..

Rain Man

About Tom Cruise as a greedy guy who just found out his rich dead father left him only his car but all of his fortune to Tom's brother which is kept secret from him all this while. He discovered that his older brother has autism and he at first wanting to take him to live with him so he could get the inherited fortune. The excitement starts when his brother (Dustin Hoffman) refused to travel by plane, so they have to take a long road trip to get to other place. Read here for more, I watched this some time ago, maybe 2 years ago but it still in my mind, it touched me, like how the other movies listed here did eventho it's not much about nature vs human, but it's the road trip or journey that they have in common.. How the journey, the travel they took together had enabled love and human-bonding to defeat greed and selfishness and materialism...and I love both of their acting..

A Break from Writing

Well I am in the middle of completing my final semester's assignment..just nak share my playlist when I am writing or reading..

And once in a while..

Banyak lagi la, Coldplay boleh kata semua lagu dia, and kadang-kadang Radiohead, my favourite is Creep..

And this metal cover of one of my favourite epic soundstrack is pretty good too, hilang ngantok..



Tapi this post i just want to share how one of the recent Taylor Swift's (me? Taylor Swift?) song feel so relatable to me..I mean i heard this song last year, but today i just learnt that the lyric spoke for my heart..

Hehe tak pernah pulak minat minah ni dulu sebab lagu dia semua sama je, tapi lately lagu dia jadi pop and got me interested.. lagu baru yang Bad Blood tu pon best gak, specially sebab video clip dia epic, siap ada my beloved Ellie Goulding dan Hayley William..

I totally love badass women..teehee~

Escape to Krabi

Lagi seminggu nak fly balik ke Aussie, aku sempat pulak ke Krabi..hohoho...

Dulu plan nak honeymoon kat sana, dah tak kawen-kawen jugak so aku pi dulu, honeymoon target kat tempat jauh lagi hahaha bajet~

Kami amek tour je, pakai jalan darat, tobat takmau buat dah, next time kalau nak pi nak naik flight ja, penat and time consuming betul pakai jalan darat ni...

Walaupon van VIP tu selesa dan best, tapi penat dok dalam van ja.. huhu.. bajet habis dalam RM500+, 3 hari 2 malam.. Sebab kami plan last minute, tak dapat hotel kat Aonang beach, dok kat pekan Krabi yang bukan di tepi laut huhu.. Lagi satu big mistake kami ialah pegi pada CNY.. packed gila masa kat border, 2 jam kat situ je..gila punya dugaan..

On the way balik kami singgah Hatyai dan Danok..a piece of advice here, jangan naik gajah kat Hatyai.

 

Krabi memang best, specially air laut dia yang jernih gila tu..ciptaanNya yang indah..i'll visit there again next year!

Persinggahan yang Bermakna, Berbakti Kepada Bumi Kelantan

Pemilihan tempat kerja sementara yang aku buat dalam post INI adalah sangat bijak aku rasa...

THANK GOD I MADE THAT DECISION!!

Seperti yang aku post sebelum ini berkenaan banjir hebat di Kelantan dan pantai timur hujung tahun lepas yakni 2014, aku memang terasa dipanggil-panggil untuk berbakti kepada mangsa-mangsa di bumi itu..

Di saat aku tergolek-golek atas katil belek fon dengan badan yang sihat tanpa aktiviti, aku rasa rugi tak ke sana membanting tulang mengerah keringat membakar kalori dan mengutip point pahala sambil meringankan beban fizikal mangsa (yang dah sedia terbeban dari segi emosi dan mental) tapi entahlah, banyak halangan bila nak join mana-mana konvoi sukarelawan nak ke sana.. tak kenal orang lah, NGO konvoi tu nampak macam acuh tak acuh (ala-ala pelancong musibah)setakat mahu nama, atau konvoi yang hanya dipenuhi lelaki.

Demi Allah, betapa gembiranya aku di saat aku jeles-jeles tengok budak intern lagi sorang dalam department aku busy dengan event dinner dan program lain tapi aku left hanging without a real thing to do except extracting resume, bos aku tetiba panggil aku join satu meeting, then dia brief aku "we are doing a donation drive for the flood victims in Kelantan". Aku macam wow..at least there is something i can do for them, walaupon bukan ke sana dan berbakti (initially this was the plan), sebab aku memang boleh derma duit tapi banyak mana la student tak kaya macam aku boleh bagi, rasa tak cukup, sebab tu nak sumbang tenaga, sebab aku kaya tenaga. So this is the time, the chance i got, Allah heard my prayer, so aku excited.

Cerita dia agak menarik dan panjang dan sedikit kejam, sebab initially my bos said the donation drive is like killing two birds with one stone, or sambil menyelam minum air, menderma dan mendapat nama, publicity. So dari awalnya hanya nak buat kutipan derma dan salurkan ke badan NGO yang nak ke Kelantan, end up jadi bigger than that.Team jejaka-jejaka senior yang suggest and initiate the project ni memang dedicated dan bertekad untuk organize a trip importing volunteers to sumbangkan tenaga, so it's voluntary work and donation, 2 in 1, isn't that great? I feel like they were "manipulating" the company's resource for a good cause, and salute the way they play the game, they actually gamed my bos haha..they gamed me too of course, bcuz i'm in the same team with  my bos but i was really hoping to go there so i was with them on that.

In every meeting i observed their dedication, commitment and determination in making the mission happen, a lot of time i was blur and clueless with their industrial jargon and terms, and workaround process which i of course understood none since i've been there only for a month. I must admit, aku bersangka buruk kat depa sebenarnya, aku sangkakan depa ni seronok nak pi sana jalan-jalan ja ni. Sebab a lot of time my bos was pissed off when they keep on insisting to run a trip there, i did my part too in influencing her when she asked me to call around and ask for NGO that we can tumpang our donation and in the same time get the publicity, i kept telling how the hell are we supposed to do that if we refused to put more effort? Orang bagi publicity dengan donation yang banyak so that nampak la dalam gambar masuk paper, sama ada jumlah bertulis RM yang banyak atas mock cheque  or donation package berkotak-kotak dengan logo company atas kotak (u can learn that from IM4U, or bantuan muka PM Najib~). So it's kinda knock some sense to her jugak la slowly...

After a lot of struggles, dengan kuasa Allah, it happened. It friggin happened!!! It was so exciting..

First time sampai situ dan tengok keadaan sekeliling memang tergamam. Macam dalam movie, pasca perang, pasca ribut etc. So devastating. I don't have to put pictures here, u've seen enough, or u should if u haven't.

Pasukan volunteer ini sangat rajin, bersemangat, dedikasi tinggi masa menjalankan aktiviti pembersihan, aku sungguh kagum. Pertama sekali semestinya bermula dengan ketua misi, the coordinator who kept constantly reminding us to focus on our intention, who drive us to stay focus with our goal and objectives. Salute him. He planned way ahead and think way ahead of most people in the team. Nevertheless, the core team working with him are also great people. There were always great ideas brainstormed and questions critics to test the flaw of every plan. Sukarelawan yang join (staff jugak semestinya) pon dimotivate dengan kesungguhan ketua dan core team. Amazingly, one of the director, a Chinese guy, joined in, and guess what, dia punya excited dan semangat, boleh nangis tengok. Cute and touching. And because of him, we managed to make a second trip to the same place three weeks later. And i got to join AGAIN! Man, i'm so lucky...

Untuk trip kedua, kami tak guna saluran yang sama iaitu sekolah untuk mengedarkan barang derma. Atas dasar keraguan integriti yang di-highlight-kan oleh "pihak pengurusan", kami deal direct dengan penduduk kampung tersebut, di mana beliau adalah sorang cikgu tapi sekolah lain, yang jugak dedicated untuk tolong orang yang betul-betul memerlukan, dan melalui nasihat dan saranan beliau tentang wujudnya pemilihan mangsa berdasarkan pilih kasih, pilihanraya-style iaitu ikut parti politik, dan ikut dan, kami pon lebih memilih sket kali ni.  Walaupon sebenarnya trip pertama lagi banyak barang donation, tapi yang dah lepas tu takleh nak buat apa dah...

Masa trip pertama time kami membersih sekolah, datanglah satu team lagi dari company oil and gas nasional malaysia datang jugak, lagi berkoyan-koyan. Yang lawaknya datang membawa alatan yang tak cukup, dengan selambe amek kami punya. Memula tu ingat atas tujuan baik iaitu nak membersihkan sekolah so takpala, yang tak bestnya bila datang 400 orang, yang buat kerja tu nampak macam 15 orang je, yang lain pegang-pegang je, tapi kelengkapan kami semua lesap. Kami ni 40 orang je noks... Patutlah ayat one of them kat aku berbunyi begini,"kalau ada glove lebih yang nampak stylo tu bagi la kami buat souvenir.."

Tapi depa sangat bijak, datang tanpa bawak kelengkapan membersih yang mencukupi, tapi satu kelengkapan yang sangat canggih dan berkuasa tinggi dibawaknya, iaitu kamera video gedabak, stok-stok syarikat produksi guna punya, kami ni rekod video pakai kamera fon ja....

Tidak cukup dengan itu, lepas pasukan glamorina ni makan tengahari berbungkus (kami tak beli bungkus,kami masak rewang ala kenduri, fresh on the spot, best bro!) , disepah-sepahnya bekas polistrin di sana sini dengan botol air mineral, aku nasib baik tak pegang fon je, kalau tak dah snap gambor dah kasi viral (then tuntut royalti minyak untuk Kelantan haha)...apa punya mentaliti daaa, harap keje je kat company gah~

Our boots and gloves used by them, not mentioning wheelbarrow, spade, scraper etc...great job!

Ok kita lupakan kesakitan hati kita dengan hamba publisiti ni jap, yang penting, aku suka, teruja, bangga, gembira, kagum dengan seluruh pasukan sukarelawan sukahati yang aku join ni. They are the best bro..Aku harap one day aku jadi seseorang yang penting yang boleh drive a mission like this and become a great role model to the younger generation, just like how these senior gentlemen inspired me to be.

They truly don't care about publicity, name, profit whatsoever. Pure intention.

Nah pitchas kami!

1st trip, mission leader memberi kata-kata semangat. Notice all the package there? those are our kelengkapan membersih..

Yep, dan memang itu ja yang kami harapkan..balasan tuhan..

2nd trip punya..still datang bawak sendiri punya kelengkapan membersih..baru namanya datang buat kerja

A day before the 1st trip, our proud pose when the mission was approved n ready to begin

Tempat masak dan makan kami, di surau sekolah.. oh kami juga tidur dalam sekolah ni

Scouting and distributing donation items di kampung sebelah iaitu Kemubu on our 2nd trip

Selepas edar barang 1st round, we pose again as kenangan..

Bersama guru besar sekolah..hmmm

Kami juga tolong bersihkan rumah belakang sekolah ni..nenek dan cucu je tinggal..

Some of the gentlemen..

Saat balik..

Director berjiwa rakyat, berkelulusan universiti Singapore, bekerja bertahun-tahun di US..humble human being..

I will never forget this wonderful experience, i will never forget these gentlemen (and the ladies too), i will miss and forever cherish this moment...
